Reflecting pool sealant begins to chip as algae growth continues
A National Park Service worker cleans a large area of algae from the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool while anti-Trump demonstrrator Nadine Seiler cheers the algae, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on June 19, 2026. U.S. President Donald Trump awarded a $14 million no-bid contract to cover the bottom of the granite pool in “American flag” blue sealant to prevent algae growth. Algae continues to be a problem, and the sealant has begun to chip in places. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
